Syntax
public readonly struct PersistentSequencePointerReadOnly : ISpanFormattable, IFormattable, IUtf8SpanFormattable, IEquatable<PersistentSequencePointerReadOnly>, IEquatable<NullablePointerReadOnly>, IEquatable<NullablePointerUninitialized>, IEquatable<NullableFunctionPointer>, IPointer<PersistentSequencePointerReadOnly>, IPointer, IComparable, IComparable<PersistentSequencePointerReadOnly>, IComparable<NullablePointerReadOnly>, IComparable<NullablePointerUninitialized>, IComparisonOperators<PersistentSequencePointerReadOnly, PersistentSequencePointerReadOnly, bool>, IEqualityOperators<PersistentSequencePointerReadOnly, PersistentSequencePointerReadOnly, bool>Remarks
PersistentSequencePointerReadOnly has the following characteristics:
- Non-
nullableYou can access the pointer's target directly without checking fornull. - PersistentThe pointer's target outlives the pointer's initial scope. You can let the pointer escape the current scope and store it for later access. No guarantees are made about how long the target will remain valid or who owns it.
- Contiguous sequenceThe pointer points to a contiguous sequence of targets.
- Read-onlyYou can only read the pointer's targets. You cannot modify them.
- UntypedThe pointer points to a contiguous sequence of targets of unknown type. You must cast the pointer to a specific type before you can access its targets.
You should never create instances of PersistentSequencePointerReadOnly using its parameterless constructors or default(PersistentSequencePointerReadOnly). Doing so will result in undefined behavior.
Always use the FromRaw(void*), FromIntPtr(nint), or FromUIntPtr(nuint) methods to create instances of PersistentSequencePointerReadOnly pointers.
Constructors
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| PersistentSequencePointerReadOnly() | Do not use. Do not create instances of non-nullable pointers using parameterless constructors or default values. |
Properties
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| AsIntPtr | Gets an nint that represents the same memory address as the current pointer. |
| AsUIntPtr | Gets an nuint that represents the same memory address as the current pointer. |
| HasTarget | Gets a value indicating whether the current pointer is non- |
| Raw | Gets a raw pointer pointing to the same target as the current pointer. |
Methods
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| CompareTo(NullablePointerReadOnly) | Compares the current instance with another object of the same type and returns an integer that indicates whether the current instance precedes, follows, or occurs in the same position in the sort order as the other object. |
| CompareTo(NullablePointerUninitialized) | Compares the current instance with another object of the same type and returns an integer that indicates whether the current instance precedes, follows, or occurs in the same position in the sort order as the other object. |
| CompareTo(PersistentSequencePointerReadOnly) | Compares the current instance with another object of the same type and returns an integer that indicates whether the current instance precedes, follows, or occurs in the same position in the sort order as the other object. |
| CompareTo(object?) | Compares the current instance with another object of the same type and returns an integer that indicates whether the current instance precedes, follows, or occurs in the same position in the sort order as the other object. |
| Equals(NullableFunctionPointer) | Indicates whether the current object is equal to another object of the same type. |
| Equals(NullablePointerReadOnly) | Indicates whether the current object is equal to another object of the same type. |
| Equals(NullablePointerUninitialized) | Indicates whether the current object is equal to another object of the same type. |
| Equals(PersistentSequencePointerReadOnly) | Indicates whether the current object is equal to another object of the same type. |
| Equals(object?) | Indicates whether this instance and a specified object are equal. |
| FromIntPtr(nint) | Creates a PersistentSequencePointerReadOnly from a memory address given as a nint. |
| FromRaw(void*) | Creates a PersistentSequencePointerReadOnly from a |
| FromRaw<T>(T*) | Creates a PersistentSequencePointerReadOnly<T> from a |
| FromUIntPtr(nuint) | Creates a PersistentSequencePointerReadOnly from a memory address given as a nint. |
| GetHashCode() | Returns the hash code for this instance. |
| ToString() | Formats the value of the current instance using the default format. |
| ToString(IFormatProvider?) | Formats the value of the current instance using the specified format. |
| ToString(string?) | Formats the value of the current instance using the specified format. |
| ToString(string?, IFormatProvider?) | Formats the value of the current instance using the specified format. |
| TryFormat(Span<byte>, out int, IFormatProvider?) | Tries to format the value of the current instance as UTF-8 into the provided span of bytes. |
| TryFormat(Span<byte>, out int, ReadOnlySpan<char>, IFormatProvider?) | Tries to format the value of the current instance as UTF-8 into the provided span of bytes. |
| TryFormat(Span<char>, out int, IFormatProvider?) | Tries to format the value of the current instance into the provided span of characters. |
| TryFormat(Span<char>, out int, ReadOnlySpan<char>, IFormatProvider?) | Tries to format the value of the current instance into the provided span of characters. |
